I am 350 player and anyone 400+ develops properly, castles early, and does these basics well… I keep hearing how 500 players just move random pawns and barely know the rules, and the top chess streamers mock even 800 level chess as total beginners… yet it seems everyone is so much better in real life. At least Anna was surprised by how well he played “for a 400”. Maybe it’s become a lot more competitive recently but to me this is standard 400 level chess. I just don’t think people play as badly as everyone says. Or maybe I’m just much much worse at this game than I think.

I would imagine that if u are lets say 300, you stop playing people, focus on studying + bots, you come back as much better player, it will take time to get to 500. In that time u will be a suprisingly strong 300, 400 etc. Now imagine if you improve to around 1000 from 300. It will take time to reach rank that will represent your skill

Explaining or not you can always say that bro 😆 Anna doesn’t like time management! Still she is much much much better then me!

I watched this 6 months ago , my elo increased from 320 to 1450 ) yes i used to play chess but i was stuck at 400-600 elo. I just improved my elo by learning openings and ideas like anna is giving)

You should continue this series; it is very educational.

I just returned to chess after 20 years after watching your channel and this helped me right away to play an elegant 300 (me) v 500 game. No blunders and check mated white. So happy, no blunders for the first time today. 🎉 More education so welcomed! My seven year old also started. Thank you. I would enjoy basics on lets say 10 different openings.

My friend, 10 openings is too much. Stick to your opening principles and maybe learn a setup opening or two; kings indian defense or somet

Thank you for explaining what is simple chess I have tried many complicated tactics only to fail at some point. I'll grind my way up and, focus on simple moves and time management :)

You're a great teacher! I started playing chess a couple weeks ago now and my ELO is like 350-400ish. These games are really informative.

Im so glad that Anna, as far as I know, is the only chess streamer to actually explain how the speedrun accounts work.

Hi Anna, that was really instructive thank you. My problem is always wanting to take take take but you have hammered it home here that you should delay tactics until they’re really clear and spend the majority of the opening developing and playing to improve your position. 🙏

Yet another great teaching video. I learn so much by seeing MY mistakes exposed in other peoples' games!

as someone who started last week and has been hovering around 350-500, this is super helpful, and it's true that we aren't as bad as most ppl think we are (lmao)

Thanks Anna, that was very helpfully. Please keep telling us the way to the Top.

Great Explanation Anna thanks for these lesson's ❤️

Cheers Anna. Thanks for taking the time to help us, I am just a beginner myself and have been trying to solve chess puzzles as a way to gain ideas. Be great if you had a Anna Cramling chess puzzle app or something. Also enjoyed watching you play your Mum and Dad in the other videos... All the best GN

awesome. Just rekindling my chess love and really enjoy these tutorials. greetings from Alberta, Can.

You should definitely continue this series this is where I’m stuck at right now like 450 I’m starting to checkmate a lot more thanks to you and it is def your thought process❤

Yes! I have been wondering about tactics for low levels! Thank you for explainig what "simple chess" is!

Hi Anna , You did a wonderful job ,making chess interesting for beginners.

I learn so much from you. Thank You!

Thank you Anna. You explain really well. Cheers.

I've been playing chess my whole life. I'm 42. I remember playing yahoo chess in the mid 90s- late 90s. 1200s back then we're like 1100s. Now a days you play a 1100s they are like 1200-1250s. Ether people are getting better or I'm getting worse.

Excellent lesson, Anna. I am a new chess player and your commentary has helped me to see how the game works. Thank you.

As a 600 most people play the basics and principles really well just comes down to sacrificing and pattern recognition

You're helping me to get over 500 in blitz which is a great achievement for me. You're giving real advice with explanations not the gimmicks I've seen elsewhere. Thank you so much.

Awesome lesson, Anna. 👍

You explain it so much easier than Levi lol. Love watching both of your videos tho. Been stuck in low 400s, just trying to learn

You are by far my favorite chess channel. Your enthusiasm is great, your content is great and fun to watch.

Thank you for your videos, I find them very helpful as I'm recently started learning chess. Chris

Yes Please Anna! I like this approach! you are an awesome coach 🙂🙃😊😘

I'm improving a lot, Anna. Thank you for all your tips. I got here after painfully learning to take things easy, develop pieces so I can castle, and defend my center pawns. Just by doing that, I'm able to consistently avoid losing too fast. By the way, do you have a preferred android app?

You helped me reach 920, was so happy I saw the queen move that attacked the rook and knight

Instructions unclear. Tried to defend my pieces but ended up in a nasty fork resulting in the loss of my queen.

Nice idea Anna, im here for it

This is highly instructive

I just want to say thank you. I learn a lot from your lessons.

Nice, Thank you Anna

I will say that you have some really great instruction videos on tips to playing better chess and you make them easy to understand. Thanks you, I lhave earned a lot from them!

Anna you are amazing: a great teacher and great chess player. I've never seen anybody which such skills in didactics. I love to watch your videos.

I do alot of chess puzzel and play alot of online chess that i went from losing to almost winning every game

Lessons: 1) go for longer diagonals for bishop 2) keep your pieces together 3) play simple moves, be patient

Thanks. I saw you in the streamer awards for best chess streamer and was about to vote Gotham but realized I wasn't familiar with you so I decided to watch you. Turns out I made a good decision and you are great at explaining positions, better than Levy or Nelson.

There is being a good player and then there is being a good teacher. Anna is both! :)

This stream was great xd Thank you again the triangle system is killing my opponents!

So basically it boils down to promote your minor pieces to control the centre while castling as early as possible and use you rooks to cover any columns that open up? Would love one for 500 elo players

It’s much the same maybe up until 800 or even 1000, by 1200 people are reaching intermediate stage and would beat an 800 9 or 10/10

how do you process the take/take/take stuff so quickly? i don't know my rating, i just play against chess bots right now and can usually beat the 1000 rated bots 2/3 of the time with takebacks allowed but i know that's not realistic either

I would have ran out of time and most in the time you talked about the first two moves

My parents both are GNs -> Grandnoobs… so I am too 😂 just started playing

I just played game after this video on my 500 rating and I got 85 accuracy clear win :D

so how does this work? cuz when i see the players history, the points are lost and did not come back? would be messed up if his points are gone though

Go Anna

Would be helpful to trim down the most beneficial games from the twitch stream and have them in like a 30 min video for each rating group (400 to 1000, 1000 to 1500, etc.). Instructional videos help me a lot bc my rapid is stuck between 1350 to 1400 elo and I’m always looking at videos like these for help.

I've been playing against the hardest 250 elo players can't seem to beat them unless they lose they're connexion lol

In order to not lose as anything under 1200, is just to not blunder any pieces and that’s it.

I think she was abt to say bc you suck at this level, but held herself back.

I love that you have passion for something. I hope my children find something they are also passionate about. In the meantime, I thank you for doing these classes. I always wanted to learn chess. This is proof your generation can teach us old dogs new tricks. 😆

Honestly i keep hearing how hopeless 400 players are but as a 350 player who is learning, tries to develop properly and do all the stuff the experts teach, it doesn’t stack up. Everyone I play already does all the stuff Anna mentioned here. To me this guy played like every 400 play I’ve played. Maybe good chess players just don’t realise how people play so far below them

@@AntonFairfax They have no consistency at all though. I think if your actually rated 400 it's more likely you're not accurately understanding your own games or the games you're seeing here. This guy definitely played far better than the average 400 player. I mean it's hard to judge from one game, but if all you had was this game to judge you wouldn't assume 400 or anywhere close to it based on this alone. There are more tactical mistake and worse opening moves from 400's than in this game. 400's throw away pieces all the time.

I'm not sure exactly where I am because I've beaten 1600 and I've lost to 700 shits confusing

i took up weight lifting and it has also helped my chess a lot👍

Youre an awesome person

Så bra du är !

I'm 1700 and this is exactly what I'm looking for!! ty

400 is a wild west

Yeah, step on me

I at 550 elo, and i will say, people dont play that bad it seems.. yes sometimes I blunder and them aswell. But it seems like players know what they are doing for some reason

yeah nice keep doing it

I have normaly 3000 but i do 6 fails per round.

“Right neow”

Great content for beginners like me. More would be great.

how do you can see that the enemy is normally higher then his rating he is playing ? :) because iam 401 and last time i played against someone with 250 rating but he was the best player i ever met, better then 500 rated players i played against. he also had a vip membership and other symbols near his name!

the running clock makes me nervous

I have a low rating but i beat people in less than 56 moves usually my games are 27-18 moves or even less than 18 11 moves is nothing to me winning what does that mean

I always move pieces in random circles. Then my opponent becomes dizzy and gives up.

I got difficulty with that white Top 😂

im 1925 i just need 75 points. I'm bad with openings tho

Just casually playing with 10 seconds on the clock.

as 400ELO player I feel insane thatcoponents start use this against me(I'm dumb)
